Is there a special washer or ring for high pressure steering hose connection?

Biggredd2069 April 23, 2024

Been on a journey of redoing basically everything. Just rebuilt my steering pump and gear box and pittman arm. My high pressure hose is a couple years old but low mileage and mild use till now. Just got it back together and it’s leaking from the high pressure hose. Just doesn’t seem to fit right and leaks out the top. Is there a special washer or ring i lost when i took it in i need to replace? I’m summer ready once i get these leaks figured out

It will be challenge to get that back off but my question is do i need to get that off and realign it better on that spline or will it be fine and i can just pull the steering wheel hub…

Guess I thought this was a sway bar bushing? But every single search for any type of bushing doesn’t pull this up. Any help you can give?
